Report: McCain will attend debateBaltimore
Sun, United States - 9-26-08AP McCain had said he would skip the debate in Oxford,
Miss., so he could work with President George W. Bush and congressional
leaders on a plan to rescue...

And every
time they let [Sarah Palin] talk for more than four minutes, you actually start
feeling sorry for her. It's kind of like Kim Kardashian or "Dancing With the
Stars." All that ass and can't shake it. -
Chris Rock,
comedian, on Larry King Live

It was an apparent misstep in Palin's third interview since agreeing to become
Republican Sen. John McCain's running mate four weeks ago.

"Do you
even understand this Bush economic plan? Do you understand how it works? See,
here's how it works. When you screw up, you pay. When they screw up, you pay!
Yeah, actually very simple." --Jay Leno

Am I the only one who had
the Bejeebus scared out of me by that god-awful speech. I am 65 and no president
ever used alarmist words and his bleakness....omg... Why is the media not
covering that? I see giggling people on some morning shows. Scarborough and Mika
and Fox and Friends especially. Am I in bizarro world? How could our financial
institutions all of a sudden collapse and a instant fix is needed of 700 bil
with no oversight and Bush shows up in his speech looking like he's held
hostage. I wonder if the worst is yet to come.

Hope I didn't bum u out.

I hear
you Sandy.

I think
because so much news is coming in fast and furious that it is hard to digest.

Bush did
look as though he was being held hostage.

He had
that faraway look in his eyes and a hole in his neck.

Seriously, to try and answer your question, many noticed Bush's doom and gloom
speech, but it is lost among all the other doom and gloom news and that's a good
thing -- Bush seems irrelevant.

This
bodes well for Obama as McCain and Palin seem to be failin!

Mika on
Morning Joe has morphed from a strong woman to an obsequious giggling crutch for
Scarborough. Amazing what money will buy, eh?

That show
is too noisy for me, people talking over each other, Mika's incessant giggles, a
snare drum playing while Mika "delivers" the news. I prefer closed captioning
when viewing that show.

As an
average citizen I sure am fearful of what is happening and I will be holding a
yard sale today and tomorrow. Really. The more cold hard cash the better!

"No,
actually, the real reason he says he's postponing the debate is to concentrate
on the economic crisis. In fact, President Bush spoke to the nation earlier
tonight, addressing the financial crisis. He spoke live from the White House
panic room." --Jay Leno

McCain Knows How To Make Enemies

"Late Show" host David
Letterman
kept up a verbal assault on John McCain Thursday, saying he felt like an
"ugly date" because the GOP presidential candidate backed out of a scheduled
appearance on his talk show.

"John
McCain showed up without running mate Sarah Palin, which is a shame because she
actually has a lot of experience with financial matters. You know, she lives
right next to a bank." --Jimmy Kimmel,

Sarah
Palin was at the U.N. yesterday, meeting all the world leaders. Actually, she is
still learning who the world leaders are. For example, right now, she thinks
that Warren Buffett is the head of Margaritaville.- David Letterman

"Some
financial analysts are saying we're bailing out institutions with money we don't
have, which makes the dollar even more worthless. In fact, today, God said,
'Could you take my name off the bill?" --Jay Leno

It's OK When
Republicans Do It

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who
has made a crackdown on gift-giving to state officials a centerpiece of her
ethics reform agenda,
has accepted gifts valued at $25,367 from industry executives,
municipalities and a cultural center whose board includes officials from some of
the largest mining interests in the state, a review of state records shows.

Switzerland celebrates after landing after his solo flight from France to
England near Dover, England, Friday, Sept. 26, 2008. The Swiss daredevil crossed
the English Channel strapped to a homemade jet-propelled wing Friday,
parachuting into a field near the white cliffs of Dover after a 10-minute solo
flight. Yves Rossy leapt from a plane at more than 8,800 feet (2,500 meters),
fired up his jets and made the 22-mile (35-kilometer ) trip from Calais in
France. Rossy passed over a thin strip of land in front of South Foreland
lighthouse, seen at rear, looped over onlookers and opened his parachute, his
wings still strapped to his back.
